  • What does the Bible mean by a hardened heart, 'filled' by the Spirit and to be 'holy'?

    What does the Bible mean by a hardened heart, 'filled' by the Spirit and to be 'holy'?
    Jul 6 2025
    What is biblical holiness? Can a heart be so hardened that it’s beyond saving? Does the Holy Spirit still give personal promises today? And what does it mean to be truly 'filled' with the Spirit? Tom Wright and Mike Bird tackle four deep listener questions about the nature of holiness, the mystery of a hardened heart, how the Holy Spirit speaks today, and the meaning of being filled with the Spirit in the New Testament. They unpack the richness of biblical language, the difference between human and divine hardening, how to discern personal spiritual promises, and how God’s filling work transforms lives moment by moment.

    Can we read Jesus into every Old Testament story?
    Jun 29 2025
    What did Jesus really mean in the Olivet Discourse? How should we read the Old Testament in light of the New? And what can Herod’s strange reaction to Jesus teach us about resurrection and eschatology?Today on Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Michael Bird unpack the theological depth of Jesus’ teachings on the end times, the ongoing tension between inaugurated and future eschatology, and the complex relationship between the Old and New Testaments. They challenge overly simplistic readings of prophecy, explore the implications of resurrection hope, and reflect on how Herod’s confusion reveals deeper truths about fear, guilt, and misunderstanding in the ancient world... and today.

I wish I had found anything written by NT Wright as a younger man. I feel like I'm playing catch up when it comes to understanding my faith from an eternal and cosmic perspective. I'm so grateful for this podcast it's one of the reasons that I choose to be a monthly supporter of the show. Tom and Justin you make a great team and perhaps someday I will have the pleasure of meeting you this side of Glory and if not I'll be sure to introduce myself and thank you both when I see you in New Creation.

After years in modern western American Christianity, finding more hype and over-confident blustering than real, honest, scholarly answers.... NT Wright provided some of the keys I needed to unlock the Bible. Listen to #32-An evening with NT Wright in live in London. It was help you completely rethink what you think "the gospel" even is. One of my top favorite biblical scholars now.
